Awakening Wednesday — AlcoWho?

“Alcohol has been found outside the Solar System. It can be found in low densitites in star and planetary-system-forming regions of space”. So says Wikipedia. I appears the Creator knows a good thing when He sees it! Maybe stop off on the way home for a

Some people insist that alcohol as an ingredient in a skin care product is bad because it is “drying”. And who among us actually wants dry skin, after all?

Yet the drying effects of ethyl alcohol (the good, sippin’ stuff), aren’t necessarily bad. In the case of Awakening’s formulations, these drying effects can be offset altogether.

For a number of years, we formulated an awesome sanitizer for the hands, called, appropriately enough: Awakening HANDS SANITIZER. Because of Awakening’s hallmark use of natural minerals (primarily magnesium and potassium), our including ethyl alcohol as an ingredient actually produced a product that was both sanitizing and hydrating. Hydrating is the oppositive of drying, so here was a case where alcohol was used in a skin care product to produce a very desirable effect — a light product that did many good things for the skin. The morale of this story: Don’t believe everything you may hear or read!

With only a few exceptions, we call our products by what they do: Awakening HANDS treats hands, Awakening FEET treats feet, Awakening BODY treats bodies, Awakening SCALP treats scalps — you get the idea. However Awakening MUDFace is mud for the face (and feet!) — so, as with 9th grade English, there are always exceptions to every rule!

Just want to introduce myself: I’m Rob Hardwicke, the President and Product Master of Awakening Skin Care. The goal of this blog is to be a participatory voice on issues that affect us all when it comes to skin care.
All of us have skin (a profound observation!). All of us are living longer and longer (or at least some of us). Therefore, since we’ll be occupying this skin of ours for a good many years, we might as well make the most of it. This means taking care of our skin. READ MORE ABOUT ROB HARDWICKE
